THE CUBA REVIEW 



23 



While the adversity of the tobacco grower in Cuba works hardship at present, its ultimate 

 results will probably be for the best, as it will not only tend to force many into other lines of 

 effort, but will bring about better and more economical methods of culture. The tobacco 

 <'rop will be greatly diminished this year, but the jiroduct will undoubtedly be of a suj^erior 

 f)uality and more economically i)roduced.
